hey this a great rom, one thing, i cant make weather work, i installed the activate weather cab from my documents but when i choose my city(rosario,argentina) it goes back to homescreen and nothing happened ,how do i activate weather?
[HTC Excalibur] cire6:
i think its working but you have to press the go on line something like that at the options and will redirect you at the site to see the weather update.

to sir nrg, can you add resco explorer?
[HTC Excalibur] cswroe:
I am going to try the regedits today.

Also, I am unable to get the Light Config working still. Just hoping....

Edit: Regedits work great. Pagepool at 12.
[HTC Excalibur] funoffan:
Some of the problem I found at Release 52409

include: Wifi is connected, but there is no connection for any brower.

The default theme change to gray instead of black after install skyfire homepage and then switch back

There are two Clock and Alarm shortcut in the menu.

Active Weather cannot work.

When I use miniweather 1.3 home page theme, no background can be applied.
[HTC Excalibur] funoffan:
After you setup your email, if you want to take out the email on the home screen, simply use chome and go to message (there is icon) to delete your email account.
[HTC Excalibur] funoffan:
Yes, same with skyfire and google app.

It only works for a while after I reflash my rom, which is 052409.

[HTC Excalibur] Nokser:
Hi friend, please give me xip.bin from this rom:cool:
[HTC Excalibur] drifterrolly:
look at the post i quoted
[HTC Excalibur] ratstrangler:
I'm glad you're back with us.

I was a little worried there. ;)

It's a cryptic registry entry or something isn't it?

MessageLength?

Or all the vowels fell off your keyboard. :D
[HTC Excalibur] thalaric:
In addition to there being two Clock and Alarm shortcuts, I also noticed that no matter what setting I use for "Unlock Screen Clock" it never shows the time on the unlock screen. Can someone else verify this?

On an unrelated note, does anyone use Iris Browser? It works great while "Javascript" and "Fit Content Width by Default" are turned off. The pagepool should be reduced down to around 8mb for use with it because it takes a lot of free memory.

EDIT: referring to release 52409
[HTC Excalibur] thenikeman:
Yes, no clock for me either.
[HTC Excalibur] phuKKah:
I wouldn't know, I use smarttoolkit 0__0
[HTC Excalibur] thenikeman:
True, as do I, but when you hit the unlock soft button, you don't see the clock on that screen do you?
[HTC Excalibur] Bigmannyjr:
Iris is o.k for a day then you realize it's not as fast as Opera Mini, and dosn't play flash video like Skyfire so you delete it
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Yeah ? Well you can't do that with the stock rom either. This isnt based on Kavana's and I wish people would stop whining that things aren't like "Kavana's"....

I haven't found a cab for it anywhere... Does anyone have on handy ? I'll cook it in.
[HTC Excalibur] thalaric:
Both of those solutions use a proxy which is undesirable for me for a variety of reasons. That's why I was so excited when I found Iris (since Opera seems to be abandoning Mobile in favor of Mini).

RAM issue question

I am currently running Rose 1.7. It seems, since this has been out a month and has several revisions, that it should be safe to do a flash to your version. I do have a question. I have been having an issue with ROSE that my RAM is disappearing throughout the day after initial boot.

At the initial boot, I usually have between 10 to 14 MEG free. After checking email, running calendar, etc. throughout the day, it dwindles to less than 1 MEG. I have been clearing memory as I go along but that only gives me, maybe, 1 additional meg. I have even, after shutting down programs as I go along, had it go down to such a level that it will not run CeleTask and will not have enough memory to clear the memory! At that point, I usually have to pull the battery and reboot (if I do that, I loose any text message history I may have had for the past couple of hours.)

Is anyone familiar with this problem? Would I expect this problem to be resolved with this new ROM?

Thanks in advance for the assistance.
[HTC Excalibur] Bigmannyjr:
As long as you like it. Mabye as an alt. to IE on this ROM?

The DREAM Excalibur ROM (Comparison thread)

I posted a thread and would like NRGZ28's to take a look at it and possibly take it into consideration into his next build.

keyboard problems

Hi, great work. Love the design !!!

I have just a few problems.... cant manage to set the weather location , no matter what i do it stays on add location screen, and the bigger problem- can you help me set the keyboard input too a full qwerty, because now all the letters on the numerical keyboard part are gone, and the numerical part is acting like on the regular phones...

Please help!
[HTC Excalibur] jarroyo:
Tried and like

For those that are comparing this build with Kavana or Rose, well, apples and oranges. I have tried all three now and, frankly, think that the idea would be a marriage of all three. I wish that weather worked on this one (I tried downloading the 1.3 and 1.2 weather plugin but it disappears after going into CHome Config).

I haven't quite figured out what Inner Circle does, though, if that were a way to put in Favorites on the Home Screen, it would be awesome, much easier than Kavana or Rose.

I like Resco Explorer and miss it on this build. The CHome is not as easy to use as other builds. I see alot of potential on this build which I would love to have but, in the meantime, I will probably wait for those changes to come up before making a permanent change.
[HTC Excalibur] phatmanxxl:
Change relpy softkey to delete on the texting screen!!!!!!
[HTC Excalibur] phuKKah:
Didn't feel like quoting, but you guys really do need to stop comparing NRG to Kavana. They both have different views on the ROM's they cook, so either be happy with NRG or go to Kavana.

If you think Kavana builds better ROM's, then use his and get out of here xD

Just saying, but this kinda stuff is what kills developers.
[HTC Excalibur] jeanpiere:
i wudnt even say apples and oranges. performance wise this ROM outdoes all the previous builds, especially since we got that whole RAM leak issue solved. many of the things that i see people complaining about not having in this ROM are quite frankly, just "niceties" that the other chefs included to "spice up" their builds. this Rom is first superfast, especially if you overclock your processor, aesthetically pleasing n free of clutter, plus it appears to have a bit more support for some winmo 6.1 professional programs too.

umm in answer to your ignorance as to the purpose of innercircle, it is simply put, a pretty yet very useful email filter. you specify which email addresses you want to be in your inner circle, and it automatically show u messages from only those peaple without u having to go into the normal inbox to search thru stuff.

sidenote: still having issues syncing with vista and windows 7, only way i can do so right now is via bluetooth, as usb is still not recognized. wud it be possible to cook voice command into your next release too, please?

Looks good but can't flash

I downloaded the latest version.

I start the auto boot, it goes through the process fine, until flash time.

It goes to 3% then i get the error window and the phone just resets to the the ROM that it has.

What am i doing wrong. Also i dont' see the page pool setter...

Thanks again.
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Thank you for taking the time to explain all that. I did plan an MSVC version, but I thought it would kill the RAM. I'll put out an MSVC version next time. I guess I gotta go try to sync it with Win7 to see what happens first hand. I'm an XP guy and I always use XP :)

No... what now ? lol

lmao.... Not to mention all those ingredients are freely available to download on the forum. I would know.. I posted them! LOL :P

And then....?

Guess you better get reading before you dive in heard first, eh ? :)
[HTC Excalibur] Nokser:
You do not know what the cause may be - does not operate the keys, the problem certainly lies in the SYS
[HTC Excalibur] Nokser:
After przeportowaniu build 21040 in the system is not working any key, even power.

At lower compilations, everything works well
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Dude.. what the hell are you talking about ?????? Keys arent controlled by the SYS.. they're controlled by DRIVERS!
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Word of WARNING... The 21040 beta build MIGHT expire June 1st. Be prepared to flash another ROM !!!!!!!!!
[HTC Excalibur] Nokser:
And that's beside the point, as the basis to build a lower, everything is nice.

As for the normal functioning of the SYS 21040 only, no key is not responding ....

I myself do not understand
[HTC Excalibur] cswroe:
Is this a timebomb from you or something else?
[HTC Excalibur] vwgtiron:
or better yet a new ROM lol
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
It's a timebomb from MSFT... Beta builds are always like that.
[HTC Excalibur] Cal-El:
Are you planning on cooking a newer version? I realy want to flash this to my girlfriends dash but not if it is timebombed! :o
[HTC Excalibur] kr33mo:
Well I was waiting for a final release to flash this ROM, but now my phone freezes on boot and will not load 6.1. I thought I read that there was a way to flash by using just the bootloader. How can I do this? Also do I have to hard reset the phone to the original ROM and then flash this ROM?
[HTC Excalibur] phuKKah:
Well, it's the first in my timezone, and I'm all good still, 3 hours into the 1st xD

I'm still backing up everything, just incase ;D
[HTC Excalibur] renaynikki:
mine expired @ 2am... dh's is still working at the moment...hope it lasts till he gets home so I can reflash..
[HTC Excalibur] uansari1:
Yeah, I wasn't sure whether or not Resco Explorer would work that way... if someone knows what other file(s) need to be included to make it work, I'll try to find them.

Also, has anyone tried out the 96dpi conversion to see if it works ok on this ROM?
[HTC Excalibur] jeanpiere:
96dpi works. . . but needs work

i managed to get the 96dpi (ROSE ver.) to work for this ROM, however the status icons at the top of the screen now appear as white blocks, also, due to whatever method used to skin the start menu, the background look rather messed up.:cool:
[HTC Excalibur] uansari1:
Resco Explorer:

After some poking around, I believe I've found why the Resco Explorer I attached earlier didn't work. I think I've found the corresponding DLL's needed to make it work, and am including the two registry entries that I believe should make it work. Using the attached zip, just copy the exe and dll files to Windows. Put the shortcut wherever you want in the Start Menu or subdirectory, add the two reg entries and soft-reset.

BaseHue:

Evidently the shortcut didn't work before, so I've included a revised shortcut along with the exe in the new attached zip below.

CeleCmd:

No changes, just broke this out into its own file.

SMSToolsPack:

After poking around this application some more, it seems there are several registry entries required to make this work (if anyone was able to get it to work using my earlier files, let me know). Anyway, that being the case, I am attaching a new zip which includes all exe and dll files to be copied to \Windows. Additionally, I've included a CCS file that you need to open in CeleCmd to automatically edit the registry and create a link to SMSToolsPack in the \Start Menu\Tweaks folder. If you do not want to install CeleCmd, you can create a shortcut and put it wherever you want, and open the CCS inside Notepad to see what registry entries need to be made.

Again, if anyone has a problem installing Resco Explorer or SMSToolsPack, let me know. I'm still new to adding software in this way, so I apologize for the confusion.
[HTC Excalibur] CacoPelao:
@NRGZ28 is there any way that u can take out the Connection Setup from this rom and post it here, I'll like to keep this connection setup because it seems to be the most complete and has support for all the carriers in the Dominican Republic...

thanks in advance!
[HTC Excalibur] cswroe:
This is a great ROM, definitely "Snappy". I am looking forward to future versions and customization.

Youtube

Hi NRGZ,

The youtube version with the ROM as you stated on your first post it doesn't work, but this version does, I don't know if you want to incorporate in the future or people can install independently.

WifiInit & SAPSettings causing problems ?

*** EDIT - Yesterday - these tweaks worked like a dream. Today - none works. Tried re-flash a couple of times. Cannot get CommManager.exe to run successfully ***

I flashed the ROM to my spare phone today. I love the look and feel of it - great job NRG - but I have experienced major issues, and have been troubleshooting ever since. Here is what I have seen to date.

I could never get a clean boot - i.e. one where WiFiInit finished. It was always there under Celetask Process lists. And, as has been pointed out by NRG - it seems to make CommManager hang if it is not finished.

Well, I went one further still, and it seems to me that there is some correlation with the SAPSettings.exe too.

I went into the Registry and renamed the "Module" Value to prevent SAPSettings.exe from being run at startup. In addition, I moved the WiFiInit.lnk from \windows\startup into MyDocuments.

On rebooting without these two startup items, and leaving the phone until it had completely settled down (screen blanked out) before pressing any keys,

I could start CommManager.exe successfully. It would turn Bluetooth On/Off. Of course WiFi wouldn't turn on/off as it is not initialized.

However, with this running, I could use File Manager to go to MyDocuments, and manually run WiFiInit. On doing so I could go back to CommManager and enable WiFi and connect to my home network.

All other sequences caused a hang of some kind.

If SAPSettings was allowed to start, it would stay in running processes (which may be correct by the way) but CommManager would hang regardless of whether WiFiInit was run or not.

If I didn't let the phone complete starting up everything that starts in the background, and pressed the Start-Menu to start CommManager more quickly, it would hang.

It also seems like regardless of how long I wait - if I have not run CommManager before running WiFiInit - then WiFiInit will hang.

I did notice that when it is loaded fast, it loads 20 additional DLLs - whereas when it is allowed to wait longer it loads 22 DLLs, including an et9 one. Maybe there are clues there for people more smart than me to figure out what the reasons for the hanging are ?

Other symptoms I have seen of the same problem when WifiInit has hung. File Manager menu would not load - it would hang.

Right now - having loaded the phone in my "slow mode" it seems that everything is running right (don't have a way to test BT SAP profile) and phone is very responsive.

Perhaps there is a way of forcing a delay in the loading of WifiInit (and maybe pre-running CommManager) that will make the phone more stable - as it certainly appears to do so - and I am sure everyone would be prepared to wait for a minute to start Wi-Fi if it added stability.

Interested to see if anyone else can see similar results to this.

CHome Wireless Manager link fix

For anyone who found the CHome link to Wireless Manager (CommManager) doesn't work, there is a simple fix.

The program name has one too many "m"s in it. It has 4 instead of 3.

Use the CHome editor to remove one "m" and it works correctly.
[HTC Excalibur] ookba:
The sys is different so the icons maybe different. I will check it out.
[HTC Excalibur] Ghostwarrior73:
Wfi

When I go into the comm manager wifi is greyed out, I have to actually hit settings>wlan and turn it on that way to get it to work.

Any ideas anyone?
[HTC Excalibur] uansari1:
The icons at the top are definitely different. Is this just a matter of modifying your application by adding the new icons?
[HTC Excalibur] ratstrangler:
Firstly - I love this. It is the first ROM on which I have been able to use MMS during the year I've owned the device.

I know.

Big deal.

"Ooh. Wow. Pictures on your telephone Grandad. Have you heard about this new-fangled fire thing ...?"

Anyway, having sent pictures of my nostrils to EVERYBODY in my Contacts folder, I am now loathe to lose this magic abilty and so have rolled my sleeves up to help where I can.

So - I followed LiverpoolFCfans' guide and - broke it. :(

I renamed the Registry entry to Modulexz and moved WiFiInit.lnk to MyDocuments, restarted the phone and left it a couple of minutes to settle down. Excitedly, I started CommManager from the Start manager and the whirlygig cursor appeared and outstayed its' welcome big time.

I showed no fear and, with purpose, started WiFiInit anyway. When it became apparent that this hadn't helped, I rebooted the phone and tried again.

A few times.

With similar results - unresponsive phone, apps failing to start, sometimes a total lockout and, oddly, the clock has now lost 3 minutes.

What have I done wrong?

Any ideas?
[HTC Excalibur] ookba:
Basically yea. I want to wait a bit until a more stable release of the ROM is out to make sure nothing else changes with the DLL's etc. Then I will update the topbar icons for my 96 dpi app. Keep checking my thread for updates. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=486339.

Maybe NRGZ28 can make a 96dpi version of the ROM?? :)
[HTC Excalibur] uansari1:
Rad... good work man. :)
[HTC Excalibur] Adaho0:
Same to me.. Plus this relase seems to be a bit slower than previous... but IMHO only:)

Thanks guys for all Your posts.. You're awesome.. Hehh..Excalibur family :D
[HTC Excalibur] s1l3nt:
family is called xda developers :D
[HTC Excalibur] Adaho0:
Of coz, but I rather think about this topic/all Exca topics :)

But You're right.

And sorry for off-topic.

Bad news, I have terrible power battery drain after replacing slim 960mAh to fat 1550 mAh... Both original HTC.. Testing now.. Maybe it's accident.
[HTC Excalibur] s1l3nt:
might be the battery i gotta get me one of those big ones
[HTC Excalibur] LiverpoolFCfan:
Unfortunately, not !

Same for me today. Yesterday life was beautiful. I restarted maybe six or seven times using that same procedure. Today - nothing works. I cannot get CommManager.exe to run successfully.

Hopefully NRG can figure something out.
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Good detective work! :P I will play with it some more as well, hopefully we can figure this out. Might have to go back to the stock comm manager, because I noticed wifiinit wont even run if the comm manager exe is not present on the system drive.

You must be have been connected to activesync. When you are, wifi is greyed out... it's a "feature" in the latest HTC phones.

The system icons will not change, I can tell you that for sure. I will look into this 96 dpi thing :)

We'll fix it eventually, dont worry. It's only the first release :P

We will :P

Here's how I got around that issue running 50709a. I removed my SD card, held the power button to turn phone off, then turned back on, and was able to connect...it bypassed the warning for some reason. I then stupidly tried to re-create the bypass and it did not work so I kept resetting the phone (probably 4-6x) before it bypassed again...this time I re flashed like I should of on the first try. Hope this helps some.

Flashed this ROM... my 2 cents

First of all i have to admit, the look is excellent. I mean NRG Rose, is pretty nice looking, but this one is excellent, esp. with the new set of icons.

NRG Rose, is one up on stability still.

So for now i had to reflash NRG ROSE 1.7

The instablity i got was from installing Mort Script. It some how managed to displace my internet icon. Meaning when i selected the IE it was get be an error. uninstalling it didn't help either.

Otherwise it's a great new ROM, i am looking forward to it becoming more stable and to it's completion.

One question, what is the major difference between NRG Rose, and this?
[HTC Excalibur] chuckknight:
I got it!

I back up my data with PPC Pim Backup, daily, so I just did a hard reset on the phone, with the SIM card out. That way it resets to the default date and doesn't connect to the network.

Connect to ActiveSync (delete old pairing) and run the updates.

Pretty simple, really.

[HTC Excalibur] blwebb68:

Is there any way to fix this??? I can access anything on my phone. It is useless. any work around?:mad:

damm nice man this rom look's sweet thanks again and keep up the bomb work.....
[HTC Excalibur] sphinx780:
See what Chuck Knight did the post prior (#591)...then flash to the latest build of the energy Rom or go back to one of the others...if you need to find an old one, do a search and you'll turn them all up. You backed up all your info before hand, right?
[HTC Excalibur] killa-mckilla:
i did a hard reset using the soft keys or whatever and it stopped the " this rom isnt working anymore" screen

though im scared to reboot my phone.. hahaha
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
So let me get this straight.... you install some cab you got from god knows where.... It says it's for Mortscript but I'm SURE it's more than that. Somehow it corrupts your internet explorer link on the start menu and AAAAAAALLL OF THE SUDDEN my ROM isn't "stable" anymore ? How the HELL does that work man ?! Can I blame Chrysler for the ****ty portable air compressor that keeps blowing the fuze when I use it ? Can I blame them for making an "unstable" Dodge Charger ? Oh.. wait.. it's probably the ****ty air compressor that's supposed to do what they advertise.. but instead, it doesnt!
